Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:1-35

Prologue To The Book (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18 ). It was common throughout the 3rd to the 1st millenniums BC for collections of wisdom saying to have a prologue preparing for the ‘sayings’ that would follow. Those sayings would then be introduced by a subheading. Proverbs thus follows the usual precedent in having such a prologue in Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18, followed by general sayings in Proverbs 10:1 ff headed by a subheading (Proverbs 10:1). It was also common for such a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:11-20

YHWH As Chastening Father And Wise Creator Inculcates Wisdom And Understanding As A Tree Of Life To Those Whom He Loves (Proverbs 3:11-20 ). The reference to ‘my son’ in Proverbs 3:11 (although in the Hebrew text not at the beginning of the sentence) points to the opening of a new subsection in the passage (as does the fact that it follows the chiasmus in Proverbs 3:1-10). Here YHWH is seen as acting to ensure the reception of His wisdom by those whom He loves. And He does it by means of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:21-35

Responding To God’s Wisdom And Understanding Will Result In Life, Peace And Security But Must Result In Positive Behaviour Towards Others, For YHWH Will Bless The Righteous, Lowly And Wise Whilst He Will Curse The Wicked, The Scoffers And The Foolish (Proverbs 3:21-35 ). The first subsection of Proverbs 3:1-35 stressed the importance of trusting, fearing and honouring YHWH. In this is understanding and wisdom. The second subsection emphasised the value of wisdom as an important part of YHWH’s... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:1-35

Proverbs 3:1-2 Samuel : . Fourth Discourse.— The sage exhorts the young man to heed his oral instruction ( torah) , and to trust in Yahweh, fear Him, and honour Him in the prescribed manner of firstfruits. It is interesting to find torah used in its earlier prophetic sense of oral instruction, without reference to its later sense of the whole body of legislation represented by the Pentateuch. The torah of the wise man represents not his own individual authority, but the accumulated wisdom of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:19

By wisdom; either, 1. By Christ, the co-essential and co-eternal Wisdom of God the Father. Or, 2. By that Divine perfection of wisdom, which is the fountain of that wisdom that is in man, which Solomon hath hitherto commended; and therefore the commendation of that wisdom tends to the commendation of this, which is a stream flowing from it. Hath founded the earth; hath fixed it in the lowest part of the world. Established the heavens, or fitted or ordered them; framed them in that exquisite... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:20

The depths are broken up; that great abyss or depth of waters, which was mixed with and contained in the bowels of the earth, did break forth into fountains and rivers for the use of men and beasts; which is justly remembered here as an illustrious effect of God’s wisdom, by which the earth was made habitable, and the waters serviceable. The dew; under which the rain is comprehended, as being of the same nature and use. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:21

Them, to wit, wisdom and discretion; of which he hath hitherto discoursed, and which are expressed in the end of this verse, and may be referred hither by a figure called trajection; and the words may be put into this order, let not sound wisdom and discretion depart from thine eyes, but keep them diligently. The like trajections are found in other texts of Scripture. From thine eyes, i.e. from the eyes of thy mind. Constantly and seriously meditate upon them, and upon those excellent precepts... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 3:19-20

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 3:20. Depths, &c., “were the floods divided” into rivers and streams for the blessing of man. Dew, or “gentle rain,” or else the clouds signify the lower regions of the atmosphere where the dew is formed. MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Proverbs 3:19-20ONE OF THE PROOFS OF GOD’S WISDOMI. God had a personal existence before the world. If we say that a man founded an institution—built a house—we imply that he existed before the institution or the house, and that he... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 3:21-26

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 3:21. Them, i.e. “sound wisdom and discretion;” Sound wisdom, the same word as in chap. Proverbs 2:7 (see notes there). Miller translates here, as there, “something stable” Proverbs 3:25. Desolation of the wicked. This is interpreted in two ways. 1. The desolation in which the wicked strive to overwhelm the good; or, 2. The destruction which will sweep away the wicked, leaving the godly unharmed. “A positive decision is probably not possible” (Lange’s Commentary).... read more
